Text anchor point / alignment

I have a form and a text;

  • Real text "sourceRectAtTime()" expression in the shape size, be equal size in pixels. It's not the size in pixels appearing in the box (nominal pixel size) Chacterer.
  • Need to keep the text at the top of the form aligned.
  • I have the assurance that text and shape properties were:
  • COMP = 1280 x 720
  • Text and shape:
  1. Achor Point [0,0]
  2. Position [640 360] (average size of Comp)

  • I was expecting to see the text on the shape, perfectly aligned.

But the value of the anchor to the shape does not match the text.

'0' for the text is = Middle width and low height.

'0' for the shape is = width mid to mid height.

Yes, I can drag text to the alignment of the form.

Actually, the problem isn't height. No anchor point. But in the wide Position. Why, when I change the text, changes the situation there. Quick glance:

When I change the text with Anchor Point is correct, still in the Center, but the position became misaligned. The text leaves the position of the shape, going to the right.

This should happen due to variations in the width of the letters, the "sourceRectAtTime()" expression is extremely sensitive to the letters. "

When I drag it to the correct location looks like this:

Except that I can't be slippery, I need everything for always, snaps. Even if I change the text.

How to solve this problem?

Update: Please, note that if I put some 'symbol', the largest in height it is also doubtful:

Try this. For the size of the rectangle (works the same as you, I think):

r = thisComp.layer("TEXT").sourceRectAtTime (time, false);

(r.width, r.height)

For the position of the text layer:

L = thisComp.layer("Rectangle");

Rect = L.sourceRectAtTime (time, false);

hisPos = L.toComp ([rect.left+rect.width/2, rect.top + rect.height/2]);

Rect = sourceRectAtTime (time, false);

myPos = toComp ([rect.left+rect.width/2, rect.top + rect.height/2]);

value - (myPos - hisPos)

  • InDesign text anchor links work only in the export to PDF.

    Hi all

    I have an InDesign document with a table of contents, I have rectangles drawn on each title, removed complete and race. I then linked these "empty" rectangles (using the hyperlinks Panel > create new hyperlink) to various anchor points of text that I placed it in the document. To create these text anchor points, I pointed out the titles throughout the document and using the 'new Destination of the hyperlink' via the menu of the hyperlinks, created all the anchor points of the text. I then just appropriate element Table of contents, create new hyperlink selected and "Anchor Text" in the options, choose the name of the anchor text and bobs your uncle. A dotted line appears around the rectangle "in white" and I then export as PDF.

    HOWEVER

    When I then open the PDF file, some of the hypertext links are clickable and take me to the destination I want in the PDF document. Some do not work. I don't know why. It's really frustrating.


    I tried to recreate the empty rectangles and the link between the rectangles to text anchors, but nothing will do. Anyone can shed some light on this? I'm doing it wrong? Is it using a blank rectangle to create the "button to click on the cause of this problem? There are about 40 of these empty rectangle buttons, as well as links to external PDF documents.

    Thanks in advance

    Thanks Frans

    I am amending a document made by someone else, and their mode of hyperlinking is ridiculous. Will have a look at the table of contents. For the moment, changing text link anchors to General pages allowed links to be clickable. The problem also seems to be to redirect the PDF as Adobe Reader works perfectly.

    It seems also to reference links to the indd rather than the PDF document or go to page 21 of *.indd rather than page 21 *.pdf

    See you soon!

  • Set the grouping on the text layer anchor point?

    Hi all

    I am not able to change the anchor point of grouping in extendscript.  This doesn't seem to work:

    Wow, ha, just figured it out after playing with him for a long time.

    1 = character

    Word = 2

    line = 3, so the syntax is:

    1. textAnchorPointGrouping = curLayers [i].property("text") ("More Options") .property .property ("anchor Point grouping" "");
    2. textAnchorPointGrouping.setValue (1);
  • Anchor points for deletion of text path cannot not bad

    Hello.

    I have the following problem:

    For Client work (custom text), I took a text (Arial Black) and converted to a path.

    So far so good. I can grab the PSCs and move them. But when I delete one, the entire letter is going nuts. This isn't logically. It then connects random points.

    I can't work with this. Does anyone know why she is doing this?

    Finn,

    What happens if you use the tool remove an anchor Point (in the dialog of the pen tool)?

    Of course, you're dealing with traces closed and filled, if something is inevitable, particularly when it crosses itself, and if it's a compound path. If you Direct Select and delete, you open the paths.

  • Need help to remove the small white lines between attached forms. Still visible even after aligning anchor points.

    Hey, I'm new here, so many apologies if the community has been asked this question several times before. I do a quick search, but couldn't find an answer to my problem anywhere. Would be very grateful for help.

    I'm quite a beginner with Illustrator, so this may be something embarrassing simple!

    But as the title says, I have a very frustrating problem, trying to create an image of polygon. I've been using the pen tool to make triangles, then join all my anchor points with the horiz/vertical align Center. Roads joined look good, until I have add color... Triangles have a very light white line on them, I have tried to delete the anti alias, which solves the problem, but then the triangles look pixelated. Even when you import into Photoshop the pale lines are visible, as well as when the file is merged or saved as a JPG file.

    I've seen some very impressive polygon art and forms look seamless when joined.

    Here is an example of the problem. Ideally, I'd like that forms merged without rough lines.

    See you soon! Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    BRI,

    I just read it again.

    align the center of horiz/vertical

    works on objects, rather than Anchor Points.

    You can have triangles which fail to assemble completely.

    Try this, smart guides are your friends:

    Starting with the last triangle (you can see the stacking order in the layers palette), click the path to find) and work your way upward as follows:

    1) click on the lower triangle with the selection tool.

    2) click on one of the neighbors, and move it to the bottom to be second in the stacking order, then move it a little far, then ClickDrag back by one of the Anchor Points to be aligned corresponding to the lower anchor (Smart Guides say anchor when you are there).

    (3) with the ClickDrag Direct selection tool other anchor Point to snap (you can drag a bit far and back until the Smart Guides say anchor);

    Who should ensure a full adjustment between the two less triangles

    4) continue until you are finished with the other triangles.

  • Why when I spend between a center-aligned line and fill my anchor points do they move?

    Hi, I use Illustrator for many years and never noticed this happens when I fill out a form - can someone explain why this is happening?

    I paint a logo using an accident stroke center aligned, rounded rectangle and another path merged to make my logo... like this plan...

    1.jpg

    .. .and when I change my race aligned at the center of a STROKE to a fill and vice versa (to make the black solid form), the anchor points of my shape... move about 10 times for fswitching between the fill and stroke, background and outline etc. my ways look like this...

    2.jpg

    Why is this happening? It doesn't do this when I use a line lined up outside or inside the way - just at the moment where the storoke is aligned with the center of the path? CAnanyone explain why this happens? What going on here?

    -Thanks in advance!

  • How to align objects to anchor points for towing towing?

    Hello.

    I need align two objects by two anchor points within the framework of selection of objects. How can I do?

    scheme.jpg

    Ivan,

    Your options may depend on version; the following work overall.

    Especially if you want to be able to do it easily and for free, you can:

    (1) for each star, create a circle of nostroke/nofill (or rectangle) with a larger box enclosing;

    (2) the center of the circle on the anchor in question;

    (3) select the circle and star (you can combine them).

    After that, you can use Align and either move as you wish (towed by its towing anchor point). When (you're sure it's) done, you can (separate and) remove circles if you wish.

    It would be nice with a script or something that allows specific movements based on an anchor Point. Maybe someone already did.

  • Center Align an anchor point

    Hello!

    I followed a tutorial (found at http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm) and I'm having difficulties Center by aligning the anchor inside the vacuum film that loads images in the xml document. Currently the anchor point is located in the upper left corner of the image, the images will be not placed correncly if they are of different sizes. Is it possible to center align the anchor with Actionscript so images are displayed in the center of the image window? Can anyone help? I have attached the existing code in the first frame of the script that controls the film. The name of the instance to this MC is "image". Thanks in advance

  • The object anchor points will not snap

    Hi all

    So, recently I noticed something in my illustrator, which I think is just the settings option.

    What's happening: when I use as race 8 on my items and I try to use the pen tool to add a few points, the anchor point objects, they simply do not snap.

    Like the image below:

    When I try to align these one, it moves a little further.

    Does anyone know how can I fix?

    PS: Sorry for my bad English tho.

    Andrée,

    In such cases, the first assumption is aligned to the pixel grid.

    You can select the entire document and untick finally align on the pixel grid in the Transform palette and uncheck also align new objects to the pixel grid in the options of the Launcher. It is crucial that the checkbox is disabled completely, not just a - which also count as ticked.

    It may be noted that even align with the pixel grid is cleared with all the selected objects, align new objects to the pixel grid is checked as the creation of new objects will result in these new objects being aligned, even when they are created from existing objects that can happen with Pathfinder operations.

    You can avoid the types of documents with the default (RGB for the web and other) or change the default value for such documents.
